MANUFACTURE OF MOLDED'AND PLASTIC WARE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 273,142, dated February 27, 1883.

' Application filed August 24, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, JOE F. PEAcocK, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented new and useful Improvements in the Manufacture of Molded and Plastic Ware, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention has for its object the ornamentation of molded or plastic articles, such as are made of' clay or glass, chiefly for tableware; and the invention consists chieliy in the method of uniting or fastening the ornaments or bands of metal upon the body of the vessel or cylinder without the use of any cement or adhesive substance, as will hereinafter appear.

In the drawings, Figure l is a cup in elevation, with a portion broken away at the top to show the section of the band of metal. Fig.

- 2 is a horizontal section through the plane at 'terior of the vessel with scroll-like surfaces in opposite directions, so that when the end of one is inserted into the other and turned around the inclines of the scrolls willbe gradually forced upon each other, and thereby wedge the parts together, holding them firmly by frictional contact.

At A is shown the body of a cup of cylindrical form, molded or formed of clay, porcelain, glass, orsome similarsubstance, and upon its upper end is fastened a band, B, made of metal, and the interior of said bapirid is formed in the scroll-like shape shown in section at Fig. 2 t fit upon a corresponding scroll formed upon the upper and exterior portion of the vessel, also shown at Fig. 2. When the band so formed is placed over the end of the vessel and is slightly turned to producea space,

as seen at C, Fig. 2, then the two surfaces become wedged together firmly, and just in proportion to the amount of force applied in forcing the parts together. The bottom, at D, may also be fastened on'in the same way, or the bottom of the vessel mayhave a scroll-pin, as at E, formed upon it to lit into a corresponding socket, as at F, in the metal bottom, or the bottom of the vessel may have its bottom inverted anda socket formed in it to correspond with a projecting pin or bearing-surface extending from the metal bottom of the cup proper to lit in the socket in the bottom of the vessel, which is merely a reversal of the same principle ofcombining the parts.

I therefore claim- 1. The method offastening metal bands upon cups or cylinders of porcelain, glass, &c., by forming the inner surfaces of the bands in a scroll form, and the exterior of the vessel to correspond therewith in reverse, whereby they may be fastened together by rotating one upon the other, as hereinbefore set l'orth.

2. A vessel formed of a plastic substance, as clay, porcelain, glass, &c., with a metal band having an interior surface in the form of a scroll to tit upon a corresponding surface upon the vessel, as hereinbefore set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed my seal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
